According to /v/, a bad game like Skyrim should have lost its appeal a long time ago. How come that isn't actually the case, and can someone explain this phenomenon? But more importantly, how come Witcher 3 doesn't have as good mod tools as Skyrim?

I'm a few hours into Final Fantasy 6 and it's ok so far, but I'm finding the story and characters a bit too goofy. Like, the part where Cyan's family dies could have had much more emotional impact, but the dialogue makes it ridiculous. Struggling to see why people think this is the best in the series outside of nostalgia.
